Giving to our Faculty + Students

Rural Health Support
There is a shortage of primary care providers in rural and suburban communities, which provides an opportunity for pharmacists to deliver an enhanced level of service to patients in these communities. Many pharmacists in rural and suburban areas offer medication management services. Hospital placement sites are used province-wide to fulfill acute care/inpatient placement requirements. However, students have reported that traveling to "locations away from home" imposes additional financial burdens.
Many students are concerned about tuition payments for the upcoming year, as well as being able to afford living expenses, travel rotation expenses, and additional mental health resources. Give now to support the future of pharmacy and student success.
Pharmacy Student Experiential Learning Fund
The Pharmacy Student Experiential Learning Fund will help students overcome the financial stresses of going on rotations across Alberta whether in rural, suburban, or urban communities. This fund will also support new programs and resources benefiting the pharmacy student experience overall.
Prescription for the Future Fund Endowment
Donating to our Prescription for the Future Fund Endowment builds a foundation for our students and faculty for years to come. As an endowment, the fund provides ongoing resources each year in perpetuity, enabling unique learning opportunities, student-led events and initiatives, the resilience to respond to future needs and so much more. Our tomorrow depends on your support today; so, write a prescription for the future!
Pharmacy Student Awards Endowment
The Pharmacy Student Awards Endowment is designated to support pharmacy students through scholarships, awards, and bursaries at the discretion of the Dean on the advice of the Faculty Awards Committee.
